🚨 Kanpur-based Lenek Technologies (@LenekTech) has built a 3.5 kg battery-powered X-ray generator for point-of-care imaging in areas with unreliable power.
A licensed radiographer can operate it, while AI reads chest X-rays, generates reports and sends them to doctors remotely.
Millions lack timely access to diagnostic imaging, resulting in delayed or missed diagnoses. Sidesh Kumar Dhakar & Chirag Agrawal, Co-Founders at Lenek Technologies, are working to close this gap. BFI-BIOME KI Awardees from SIIC IIT Kanpur.
Thrilled to have represented Lenek at the Optum @CNBCTV18Live HealthX Elevate event.
Our goal is simple—to ensure high-quality, accessible diagnostics reach every corner of the country.

I'm pretty surprised by all the buzz generated from this paper regarding the outperforming of Humans in comparison with #AI: L Plesner et al found that, despite the hype we are experiencing, these applications are still in the first stage 1/3 #radiology
Hyperinflated lungs, common in COPD patients, affect many lives in India, particularly in rural areas. Portable X-ray imaging can aid in diagnosing and treating this condition, offering hope for a better future.

Pleural effusion is a growing problem in India, primarily caused by tuberculosis (64.67%), with symptoms of chest pain and difficulty breathing. Timely diagnosis through X-rays enables appropriate treatment for this predominantly male-affected condition. #healthcare#india
#WorldNoTobaccoDay highlights tobacco's devastating impact on health, with diseases like lung cancer and COPD. Early detection through public screenings, portable X-ray machines and digital advancements can help address this public health crisis #NoSmoking#NoSmokingDay
Emphysema challenges in India: 18 million COPD cases reported in 2019. Limited awareness, underdiagnosis, inadequate healthcare. Government initiatives address issues but more awareness, accessibility, and infrastructure needed.
